I think cotton makes a better dishcloth then acrylic. See if you can find Peaches N Cream or Sugar N Cream - both make good dishcloths. These are usually easily findable at walmart, AC Moore, Michaels, Joanne Fabrics.

I'd also recommend cotton instead of acrylic. Cotton is more absorbent which is a good quality in a dishcloth. Chunky is okay, but be aware that it will take longer to dry. I prefer DK or light worsted myself because they dry quicker.

Here's some cottons or mostly cotton blends that would work that you can usually get at local craft type stores.
